Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 206 - 198 Sword Tao Saint, Ancient Sword Dragon Transformation (4k)
Facing the Decreasing Wood God Thunder Tribulation Cloud, Hong Yuan suddenly threw the Heavenly River Sword into it.
The longsword became a dragon as the Heavenly River Sword charged into the sea of lightning.
He intended to use the power of Heaven and Earth to elevate the Heavenly River Sword to a true Holy Artifact!
This idea was daring, to say the least. The power of divine thunder was unpredictable, and a mere strand of its energy could crush a fifth-level Instrument.
No sooner had the Heavenly River Sword entered than the Decreasing Wood God Thunder Tribulation Cloud burst forth in violence, with lightning like emerald vines relentlessly whipping the Heavenly River Sword.
Plumes of white smoke and gray vapor emitted from the Sword Body of the Heavenly River Sword.
Facing such terrifying divine thunder and being ’severely beaten,’ the Heavenly River Sword still maintained its "greedy" nature.
It actually attempted to devour the thunder, and even achieved some success.
"HISS! Greed is in its nature, the inheritance of the Food Tao!?" Martial Saint Xiao Miao exclaimed in astonishment, admiring the voracious nature of the Heavenly River Sword.
Perhaps I can make up for past wrongs... Martial Saint Ansheng narrowed his eyes, utterly ignoring his agreement with Martial Saint Xiao Miao.
「Beneath the Heaven Tribulation.」
At first, the involvement of the Heavenly River Sword caused Hong Yuan’s body to become unstable, preventing him from absorbing the energy of Heaven and Earth and maintaining a harmonious cycle with his own human energy.
But as the Heavenly River Sword withstood the onslaught and even nourished him in return, he became much more composed. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Especially when he saw the data on the proficiency panel start to leap with information.
[Thunder Tao +50]
[Wood Tao +30]
[...]
Hong Yuan calmly closed his eyes, earnestly feeling the atmospheric and Earth energies around him, allowing them to form a grand cycle with his own human energy.
After breaking through an Aperture, martial artists naturally attract the dual energies of Heaven and Earth, drawing out their own human energy. Once balanced, they can infuse it into their previously empty Aperture. This is the second step: Energy Absorption.
Energy Absorption profoundly tests a martial artist’s ability to maintain balance and their mental fortitude.
During Energy Absorption, the more Heaven and Earth energies a martial artist absorbs, the stronger their foundation becomes.
Streams of azure Sword Qi surged from within Hong Yuan, shooting straight to Cloud Soar, spreading hundreds of miles.
The other Martial Saints’ expressions changed drastically, and they gaped in disbelief.
"How can this be!?"
"Incredible! Not even Kong Yande at his saint ascension faced such a scene, right?"
"Kong Yande is the Elder of Eastern Wilderness Academy, an eighth-level Master. To be compared with Kong Yande, Bo Qing’s talent truly is outstanding!"
「Above the Green Heaven, a rare gathering of Martial Saints.」
The Martial Saints of Phoenix Creek Sect couldn’t help but praise Hong Yuan and were astounded by his aptitude.
Meanwhile, the Martial Saints of Qinglu Taoist Temple looked on with somber faces, wishing nothing more than to see Hong Yuan dead.
Martial Saint Ansheng, observing from the outskirts of the Heaven Tribulation, was also preparing multiple Divine Powers, ready to present Hong Yuan with a ’big surprise.’
RUMBLE! RUMBLE!
The sky began to wail, as if tearing open a corner of the firmament, with radiant atmospheric energy rolling toward Hong Yuan in a torrential manner, mighty in its momentum.
The land was also cracking open. The peaks within Luohe Mountain Range, known as the hundred thousand mountains, dissipated before the naked eye. One group after another, they all transformed into Golden Earth Qi and were absorbed by Hong Yuan.
Radiant atmospheric energy, Golden Earth Qi, and azure Sword Qi mixed together.
Hong Yuan arranged the three energies in a triangular pattern, continuously drawing them into the sites of his newly opened Apertures.
The three energies balanced each other, integrating and providing Hong Yuan with an endless stream of inspiration.
The mysteries of the Great Taoism between Heaven and Earth seemed to be waiting for him to explore, ready to fill his mind.
The state of enlightenment higher than Asking Heaven and Earth—Questioning the Heaven and Earth—is finally arriving! Hong Yuan’s spirit soared.
In the process of Energy Absorption, martial artists connect with Heaven and Earth, allowing them to directly inquire and gain any knowledge known to Heaven and Earth.
However, there was a limit to the knowledge they could acquire. Asking too broadly or about advanced concepts would not yield complete answers. It also depended on whether the questions related to the martial artist’s main discipline.
How can I elevate the ’Heavenly River Sword Cascades’ Divine Power from a human-level to an earth-level Divine Power?
The triad of energies vibrated, cleansing Hong Yuan’s Heavenly River Sword Body. His physical body, soul, and even his mind and thoughts were all continuously being sublimated.
The Sword Tao Incarnation’s eyes shone even more brilliantly, bright as stars.
The air of indifference about him became even more transcendent and unsullied, as if to purge all worldliness.
Everything was developing in a fantastic direction.
And it was at that moment that Hong Yuan experienced an explosion of inspiration; this difficult cultivation problem was divinely answered.
Cherishing the opportunity, Hong Yuan quickly pondered the perfect answer.
With the assistance of the Heavenly River Sword, and without forgetting to balance the three energies, he successfully crossed a barrier that had obstructed numerous martial artists from becoming Martial Saints.
Hong Yuan’s figure was now completely enveloped by a tri-colored sphere of energy, thoroughly hidden from view.
Were it not for the Heavenly River Sword’s constant ’gobbling,’ the Martial Saints might even suspect that the silent Hong Yuan had failed.
Demon spawn, you’d better be overindulging in the profound mysteries of the Great Taoism, causing an excess fusion of the dual energies of Heaven and Earth, and thus fail and turn into dust. Martial Saint Ansheng’s eyes were cold and stern.
The span of the Heaven Tribulation continued to expand, and Martial Saint Ansheng had to slowly fly away.
The pressure of this tribulation was too immense for Martial Saint Ansheng; he could hardly fathom how that Demon Sword managed to expel essence and devour the thunder at the same time.
Truly, there are mountains beyond mountains, heavens beyond the sky.
With such robust human energy, even in the Five Great Academies where Heavenly Talents emerge, he would be able to occupy a realm of his own.
Even the Emperor’s Path might be within reach, but alas... Martial Saint Xiao Miao shook his head in regret.
Not just him; several Martial Saints from Phoenix Creek Sect also felt it was a pity.
Being targeted by the Martial Saints of Qinglu Taoist Temple, even if Hong Yuan were to become a Martial Saint, it would be futile. It would merely delay his inevitable death.
